    Last month was my first month joining this group. Full of enthusiasm, I signed up for 70 miles. Sounded reasonable and doable for me. I started out great, but only lasted about 10 days total. Made it to around 21 miles, I think.

    21 miles is better than zero, so I can look on the bright side there. *** It was 21.14 miles***:bigsmile:

    However, I really want to attain something, after many years of setting goals and resolutions and watching them pass by the way side and my effort fizzle out.

    I'll sign up for 30 miles for September. That's less than 50% of my Aug goal, but still almost 10 more miles than what I obtained in Aug. Hopefully I can/will achieve it.

    The challenge seems easy at first, but it's not. Only one out of four starters reaches his/her goal, half of the people drop out. It will take your body some time to adapt until moving more miles becomes easier. Just make sure that you set attainable goals to prevent losing your motivation

    Okay, I am in. I am going to go for 40 miles on the treadmill. It will be 40 more than last month so I think it is a good place to start.

    here's the simple way......

    5.03/40 miles complete....


    this is what i do each time i post to the thread...no fancy tickers, no passwords to remember...no codes to paste lol....just post what you did over what you plan to do and voila.....your updated.....denise :)
    Go to www.tickerfactory.com and make the ticker.

    I just copy and pasted the BB code into my post but I'm sure there's a simpler/automatic way of doing it.

    Planning to get in a few miles today. Let's do this!!!

    I would like to know the answer to this as well.

    in addition to what dino said....REMEMBER you are challenging yourself not anyone else on the thread....it is important to remember you have no idea what their circumstances are, what they are doing for miles and honestly, no offense to anyone, but i just want to make sure i get my miles in each month while cheering on everyone else....i'm happy that even though you didnt reach your goal last month you are trying again this month....that is the most important part of all....good luck reaching your goals....you CAN do it...
